- Find f(x) using the functional equation
Given
f(x)+2f(x1)=x2+5,x>0
Replace x by x1:
f(x1)+2f(x)=x21+5
Now let
a=f(x),b=f(x1)
Then we have the system:
a+2b=x2+5...(1)
2a+b=x21+5...(2)
Solve for a.
From (1):
a=x2+5−2b
Substitute into (2):
2(x2+5−2b)+b=x21+5
2x2+10−4b+b=x21+5
2x2+10−3b=x21+5
3b=2x2+5−x21
b=32x2+5−x21
Then
a=x2+5−2b
f(x)=x2+5−32(2x2+5−x21)
f(x)=33x2+15−4x2−10+x22
f(x)=35−x2+x22
So,
f(x)=35−x2+2/x2
- Compute α=∫12f(x)dx
α=∫1235−x2+2/x2dx
α=31∫12(5−x2+x22)dx
Integrate termwise:
∫5dx=5x,∫x2dx=3x3,∫x22dx=2∫x−2dx=−x2
Hence
α=31[5x−3x3−x2]12
At x=2:
10−38−1=9−38=319
At x=1:
5−31−2=3−31=38
Thus
α=31(319−38)=31⋅311=911
- Find g(x) using the second functional equation
Given
2g(x)−3g(21)=x,x>0
Let
c=g(21)
Then
2g(x)−3c=x
g(x)=2x+3c
Now put x=21:
g(21)=221+3c
Since g(21)=c,
c=221+3c
2c=21+3c
−c=21
c=−21
Therefore
g(x)=2x+3(−21)=2x−23=2x−43
- Compute β=∫12g(x)dx
β=∫12(2x−43)dx
β=[4x2−43x]12
At x=2:
44−46=1−23=−21
At x=1:
41−43=−21
So,
β=−21−(−21)=0
- Compute 9α+β
9α+β=9(911)+0=11
